I’ve had a lot of requests for this info, and HoD trl’Qal suggested that
I post it here. I hope no one minds.

First, let me state that I am not the creator of these fabulous weapons. The
weaponsmith is a friend of mine who is selling his creations through a local
merchant, also a friend of mine.

Second, I wish it to be known that I am not acting as an agent for either
party. Rather, I happen to know a source for the purchase of finely crafted,
bathe-ready betleHmey (that’s the plural, for those of you who don’t speak
tlhingan Hol). I am providing this information as a courtesy to my Klingon
Bretheren. I do not receive any compensation what so ever.

Third, you should be aware that this product is not liscensed by Paramount or
endorsed (beyond the quote below) by anyone connected with Star Trek: The
Next Generation, or Paramount Studios.

Now for the details:

At a recent Creations Convention here in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the design
prototype for these weapons was presented to Michael Dorn for his appraisal.

Mr. Dorn’s initial comment was, "Jeez, this is a one." Mr. Dorn
went on to explain that the one used on the show is made of a much lighter
material (he wasn’t sure what) than the steel version presented to him for his
autograph. Other than that, he seemed to think it was quite authentic. The
weaponsmith has gone to a great deal of trouble to make his weapons as cose to
the original as possible. Infer what you will; no claims are made beyond what is
stated here.

Each weapon is crafted by hand and hand finished. The hand-grip areas are
wrapped in real leather (some color choice is available). Your weapon can have
an edge placed on it upon request. Do not mistake the meaning here: the edge is
like that on an axe, NOT like a razor. betleHmey are also available in different
materials (see below).

Prices:

w/ edge

$450.00

Mild Steel

For an additional $25.00, you may have your weapon engraved with up to five
words (approximately 35 characters total). The engraving can be done in Klingon
characters, but you will need to check with the supplier listed below before
including this aspect in your order.
